Michael Ackerman - Homesick New York - 2025

Michael Ackerman’s Homesick New York is a deeply personal meditation on memory, belonging, and the enduring pull of his home town. Returning to New York City after a long absence, the artist sets out on quiet wanderings through the streets, parks, and subways of a city both familiar and transformed. What emerges is a body of work shaped by intuition and empathy — a series of intimate encounters with strangers with whom Ackerman shares a mysterious emotional connection. Each portrait is the result of silent recognition, shared presence, and mutual vulnerability.
